New campus law to restrict smoking
By Charisse Jones
Staff Writer
A campus policy will be drafted in the next few weeks to comply with the new Los Angeles law regulating smoking in public and work areas, a university official said.
Barbara Flick, assistant general counsel, said the Office of the General Counsel will begin drafting a university policy to regulate smoking in the next two or three weeks.
Flick said the ordinance is to be implemented on campus April 15.
The no-smoking ordinance was passed Oct. 30 bv the City Council and signed into effect by Mayor Tom Bradlev in November.
Employers having five or more employees are required, under the ordinance, to take reasonable steps to establish smoke-free areas in their offices.
The city ordinance states "each employer shall adopt, implement and maintain a written smoking policy” within 20 days of the law's passage.
The ordinance also states that at least "two-thirds of the seating capacity and floor space in lunchrooms and employee lounges" must be designated as non-smoking areas.
However, the ordinance exempts certain sections of restaurants and bars from the workplace definition.
This can create a problem for the university since

Olympic spirit to be kept alive: VKC globe will be lit permanently
Volume XCVIII, Number 9
SHUJA JASHANMAL DAILY TROJAN
The university's evening skyline will once again be lit by the globe atop the VonKleinsmid Center bell tower.

The lighted globe on top of the Von KleinSmid Center tower will soon glow brighter and longer than ever before.
A proposal has been made to replace the existing lights on the globe with a more permanent set so it will be a constant fixture on campus from now on.
"The lights will act as a reminder of friendly competition and the spirit of the Olympics," said Duane Hickling, director of physical plant.
The lights were originally installed last summer as part of a $200,000 plan to construct the Olympic Village at the university.
At the time the lights were installed, they were only to be temporary decorations for the Olympics. However, because they "looked so handsome," the lights were left burning throughout the fall semester, Hickling said.
Because of rain, wind and other weather conditions not encountered last summer, some of the lights were burned out during the fall.
"The original lights were no heavy-duty thing," Hickling said. The new lights will be more capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions.
Hickling said the new lights will be in place within 10 working days, once a final decision to install them is made through the budget director's office.
"An estimate of the cost would really be a shot in the dark," Hickling said, because the cost of the original lighting was absorbed by the Los An-
geles Olympic Organizing Committee.
The installation of permanent lights on the globe will be the second addition to the Von KleinSmid Tower over the past decade.
"Mrs. Von KleinSmid requested that the tower be the tallest building on campus," said Liz Esakoff, a campus tour guide.
It remained the tallest building until Waite Phillips Hall was erected in the mid-1970s.
At that point, Waite Phillips
Hall was approximately 6 feet taller than the Von KleinSmid Tower, which necessitated the addition of the two-ton globe that now stands at the top of the tower.
Since then, however, the Seeley G. Mudd building was erected, and stole the distinction of being the tallest building on campus.
"Since Seeley Mudd and the Von KleinSmids are dead now, we've decided to just leave things as they are," Esakoff said.
Fights cancel dance; guns found off Hoover
By James Jones
Assistant City Editor
Fistfights led to the cancellation of a campus dance Jan. 12 that was sponsored by the Chinese Business Students Association at the Topping Student Center, University Security said.
Dexter Thomas, senior officer for University Security, said the Topping Center advisers who were monitoring the dance cancelled it at 11:15 p.m. after several fights broke out.
The 250 persons in attendance were then evacuated from the building and sent home, Thomas said.
In another incident, a University Security officer heard gunshots coming from the area of 36th and Hoover Streets.
A search of the area uncovered .45 and .25 caliber automatic pistols that had been wrapped in jackets and thrown under a parked car, Thomas said. The weapons were then turned over to the Los Angeles Police Department for further investigation, he said.
No one was taken into custody, Thomas said.
Thomas said that campus security had responded to other disturbances — like fighting — at other CBSA dances before. Thomas also said he thinks the fighting — which took place at the dance — and the gunfire, might be related.
"The people that are causing the problems are not from the university either, but other people from the local area as well," Thomas speculated.
"The problem is that they are letting people much too young into these parties."
